ANOTHER MEANINGLESS GUN STUDY
I find it amazing and somewhat silly that some researchers investigate meaningless associations that state the obvious, believing their work somehow advances the understanding of their chosen subject matter.
Consider this journal article in the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) Network Open…
Comparing Risks of Firearm-Related Death and Injury Among Young Adult Males in Selected US Cities With Wartime Service in Iraq and Afghanistan

(1) The American Medical Association has a known leftist bias with an emphasis on gun control rather than crime control – and this is often reflected in articles accepted for publication.
(2) It is scientifically meaningless to characterize gun deaths in a civilian population against those in a war zone unless one deliberately seeks media attention.
(3) If the researchers were intellectually curious, perhaps they would have studied the predominant political culture, which is soft on crime and criminals – plea bargaining away serious gun-related felonies to obtain a guaranteed conviction with a minimum expenditure of time and money. Allowing violent re-offenders to roam the streets and reengage the residents with violent behavior. Or a community reluctant to cooperate with local law enforcement to prevent, investigate, or prosecute gun-related crime as they attempt to defund the police.
Bottom line…
Another ticket-punching exercise by academics seeking to be published. As if the total number of publications were more important than the probative value of the research.
Protect yourself and your family because progressive communist democrats want to disarm you and remove your right to self-defense. The same group of progressive communist democrats is more concerned with criminals than the criminal’s victims.
We are so screwed.
